Unattended XP Update CD

[regofarimathea]

Hi All

Not sure if this is the right forum but it seems a logical follow up to the unattended installation.

I've just done CD for the local repair shop which updates existing XP installs in unattended mode and also includes Symantec virus removal tools.

It uses all the principles I've learnt from you kind folk here at MSFN so thanks to all who contribute to this knowledge sharing.

There's an attachment of the front end of the prog below which was written by Elihu Rozen available at E_Cat. It's very easily customisable via an .ini file so non programmers like myself will have no trouble getting around it at all.

It basically does the following things:

1. Installs XPSP1 - from a self extracting cab and driven by a batch file to install in unattended mode.

2. Installs hotfixes - basically does SVCPACK.INF (13 minute mark) installs, reboots and does RUNONCEX installs.

3. The Lot - installs SP1, reboots, installs SVCPACK.INF ,reboots, installs RUNONCEX

4. The virus removal tools run off a batch which turns off system restore, reboots and then runs the removal tool (haven't found a way yet to automatically reboot into safe mode)

The internals of this are four batch files as follows:

run.cmd - installs SP1 then calls runfirst.cmd

You can arrange a directory structure on the CD so it's easily updatable when SP2 is released or to add the latest apps or virus removal tools. Good thing about Elihu's menu is you can keep adding menu buttons ad infinitum and a "next" button will appear to scroll through them, so you could fill up the CD with drivers or other useful software.

The guys at the repair shop are stoked with this as they can get on with other work while the auto stuff is happening and it's really handy if you have mates who want you to get virii off their computers - just give them the CD and tell 'em they can do it themselves and then update so it won't happen again - which means I've got more time to drink Guinness

Wish list:(stuff I haven't done yet)

Turn on Internet connection Firewall via reg tweak

Detect installed service packes and hotfixes ("IF Exist=yadyada GOTO" sort of routine) so you're not installing anything you don't have to.

Do more of the batch file stuff theough RunOnceEx

Drink more Guinness.

If anyone can find a way to streamline the coding that'd be great (as i said I'm not a programmer)

Hope it's useful.

Cheers

kinda off topic, i hope you won't mind, i cant see any fitting thread to post this one to... here it goes...

can dotnet framework (dotnetfx.exe) be installed thru svcpack.inf? i tried doing it and running it with a parameter of /Q:A /R:N

[setupHotfixesToRun]JS56NEN.exe /Q:A /R:Ndotnetfx.exe /Q:A /R:N"Q832483.exe /C:""dahotfix.exe /q /n"" /q:a"KB823182.exe /Q /N /Z /O....qchain.exeDX9NTopk.exe

but during the t-13 part, it didn't go unattended. all other files worked though.

thanks in advanced for your advise. more power.

You'll find this much easier when SP2 comes out.

hi, im trying to make an unattended win xp pro installation with hotfixes, drivers and program installations. But I get an error when installing because og the hotfixes. Im using Nlite.

I tried to make it manually, but same error.

Does anyone have the inf files i need to make the hotfixes work?
